SPEEA members Mohammed Khan,
Daniel Peters and Rod Siders took part
in the conference, which included panel
discussions and guest speakers, in addition to the lawmakers’ office visits.

“I think it is important to reach out to our state lawmakers to tell our stories and to hopefully change
hearts and minds with issues that impact our fellow workers,” said Siders, an Everett Council Rep.

“We need more activity like this and more participation from new union activists.”
